In the western world, a potion of healing is more akin to taking antibiotics, and imbibing alcohol has been agreed to be just a Regular Thing People Do, not a drug thing.

And in any case, yeah! This is why you talk things out in a session zero! If a player at a table is an alcoholic, they might not want to play in a campaign where other PCs regularly binge-drink. It doesn't necessarily mean the other players aren't allowed to do this, it might just mean that this isn't the right table for the player, or it might mean that the DM has to scratch out "alcoholic" as a trait for an NPC and replace it with something else.
If all your passkeys are synced to Apple, then it makes it really easy to use that new Apple device and really hard to use that PC/Android Phone/Meta VR headset/etc.

They are trying to make an import/export mechanism to prevent vendor lock in, but what if I want to still use my iPhone and my Meta VR headset. Import/export doesn’t mean sync :(
You may want to take a look at Graphiti, which accepts plaintext or JSON input and automatically constructs a KG. While it’s primarily designed to enable temporal use cases (where data changes over time), it works just as well with static content.

The modern 'drug store' kinda baffles me. Compared to a grocery - worse selection of grocery items and drugs, worse laid out, at worse prices.

Then I wonder who they are trying to cater to. If it's a smaller and quicker grocery experience, they're competing with nearly every dollar store and gas station. In my experience at least, they're often severely understaffed and not at all quicker.

I guess grocery and online expanding into prescriptions, and the death of print photo were a one-two punch. What's interesting is that they've been declining for years, and at least to myself the consumer, don't appear to be trying to do anything different.
I liked most of the first season of WoT; though it got more and more divergent (and felt worse for it) as the season went on. The final episode lost me.

Another useful metaphor that doesn't cross the threshold from human experience into the "experiencing" that non-living things do, would be chemotaxis.

A bacterium finds food with a simple set of states. At it's most basic:

- you are experiencing an increasing concentration of food. you keep swimming straight ahead.

- you are experiencing a decreasing concentration of food. you move in a continuously randomized direction.

this eventually gets them onto a track where they are moving towards food.

Extremely simple like a thermostat, yet effective.

I get it, I just finished Arcane and that was pure chef’s kiss. It can be done and it’s so disappointing when it’s not, especially considering the budget. Although maybe with that much money involved it’s probably hard to keep one unified vision as I’m sure there are many interests competing.

That being said, it was still better than Wheel of Time. I’d argue that LotR was watchable, where as WoT was absolutely not!

Wow I never thought about the "joining" stage of this whole brexit topic. If that's the case then that adds a whole new level of dysfunction to "democracy" as a concept.

The Bond franchise it a remarkable thing, but I don't know how you make it "fresh" without ruining the charm. The Craig years were a soft reboot -- Bond was a freshly promoted 00 in _Casino_, and was thus explicitly not the same guy who bested Dr Julius No.

Employer.com is a new "brand" from long-established Recruiter.com. My guess is that Recruiter.com planned to launch Employer.com in the near-term, and they saw the Bench.co shutdown as the perfect opportunity so they've sped up their plans and "launched" employer.com.

edit: after reading Recruiter.com's investor filings (as they're a public company) the acquisition of Bench is going to kill them. The founder has gone hog wild on acquisitions despite having barely enough income to support them. It's a tale as old as time: a medium successful company goes public and starts issuing shares to fund acquisitions at a rate far outpacing the business growth and suddenly, one day, the music stops and everything comes crashing down.

>Wikipedia doesn’t stop there; here’s their take on the metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET):

This stood out to me because I have contributed quite a bit to the Wikipedia entry for MOSFET.

This illustration does not appear on the Wikipedia entry for a MOSFET: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOSFET

It only appears on the Wikipedia entry for "hydraulic analogy". People do not learn electronics from the Wikipedia entry for "hydraulic analogy".

I assert that it is highly likely that not a single human being on earth has ever used the Wikipedia entry for "hydraulic analogy" to learn electronics. It is likely that several people have used that entry to learn about the hydraulic analogy.

Then again, I learned electronics from 1988's The Way Things Work, which uses Wooly Mammoths, large stone edifices, and titanically large humans so maybe I was trained on analogy from an early age and learned to not become too attached to them when they start to break down (like how Wooly Mammoths don't exist anymore).

edit: oh goodness I just looked it up and the hydraulic analogy for a circuit in The Way Things Work is utterly magnificent, fantabulous, funny, and educational. No mammoths, unfortunately.

This is one of the changes I like the most about Shadowdark. None of the players have darkvision, but all of the monsters do. Combat is unpredictable and dangerous, and darkness is a real threat. And Torches are finite resources that last 60m of IRL time, so there is an in-game impact to dilly-dallying, endless debates, and rules-lawyering.

> “I am playing at least one more day here in New York and, if I do well, another day after that,” Really?

This is taken a bit out of context. Day 1 is a qualification phase. Only the top 8 after that ends up playing on day 2. Saying «I will play two more days» would be more arrogant since it would imply he thinks he would easily be top 8.

EDIT: It could however be considered a subtle criticism of the format. Previously there were two days with 10-11 games per day. With the new qualification system you’re suddenly more dependent on having a good first day. Many players have expressed that they thought it was more fair to have more games over two days.
I think the elephant in the room is the total lack of website/framework/library support Fido has. Trying to implement support on any random site is about as insane as rolling your own crypto and having the single sign on bolt on is sort of how people selling FOSS+enterprise want it.

The end result is that it was more a standard for them more than for direct use by the little sites, and password managers getting involved only furthers that enterprise industry standard feel.
> This is why these types of initiatives do far more harm than good. They hide problems rather than address them.

How do these initiatives hide these problems?
The NHS does have serious problems, but it's a LOT worse now than it was a few decades ago, and the two significant things that have changed are a) funding (per capita and accounting for inflation) is far lower and b) a lot of privatisation has happened.

Politicians - mostly the tories but Blair's government take a lot of blame too - have defined "not privatising the NHS" as only meaning keeping it free at point of use. But in the background, NHS trusts have been forced to sell land and buildings that they used to own and rent it back from the new private owners, and many areas have seen both staff and equipment privatised, from agency staff (where instead of hiring cleaners or nurses or whatever, they instead hire agency staff, where the hourly cost to the NHS is double or more what an employee would cost with most of that increase going to the agency companies not to the workers) to private hospitals (where instead of investing in a new operating theatre, or whatever, they pay to have NHS patients operated on in private hospitals), etc.

The NHS is far from perfect, but the lesson we learn from those imperfections shouldn't be that nationalised healthcare is bad, but that underfunding it and then using that underfunding to justify privatising lots of stuff in the background is not a good way to run a nationalised health service.

The root problem is that many politicians would like to see the NHS fall to pieces so that an American healthcare system can create lots of opportunities for companies to make money, but because the NHS is hugely popular it would be political suicide to make that an official policy, so instead they've taken this approach which not only creates these short term opportunities for companies to come in and profit as mentioned above, but also gradually erodes the it's popularity with the long term goal being that eventually it won't be political suicide to say "Look the NHS is a failed experiment, we need to replace it with American style private companies and healthcare insurance".
Show HN: Total Compensation Calculator get more out of your startup equity
I always managed startup equity in google sheets, and tracking the different grants and vesting schedules just got really complex.

As I modeled different scenarios out and plugged in all the grants, it became obvious there was value in a more structured way of visualizing things - a better way to compare offers at different companies, understanding tax implications, getting a sense of future equity cliffs.

This is an MVP and you'll notice there are only a few states supported so far (California and New York for example)for the tax scenarios, as well as different tax situations like married filing separate or itemized deductions. This was a project inspired by some of SecFi's tools - but I wanted a bit more control over how to present the data. Another way to improve would be to integrate with Carta to avoid inputting grants manually. In general, this is what I've always wanted - a single URL I visit now if I receive another equity grant or want to understand different exit scenarios at a private company.

Most of the debt was/is taken on to pay off political patrons, mostly characterized in the form of marked-up procurement. The IMF then turns off the tap as soon as a new regime takes power and decides to default. They don't stop making the maintenance payments because their rivals will pay off the patrons they can't and they would lose their support.

Their taxes are high because cronyism is pervasive and society is structure in a rigid caste-based hierarchy.

I would like to see a two-state solution, but I think we are much more likely to see annexation of the West Bank to Israel. There is some chance Donald Trump somehow becomes the peace maker of the century, but I wouldn't hold my breath. It is likely that much of Gaza is annexed for settlements as well unless something meaningfully changes.

We can check on these prediction in a year or so. Because we cannot prove anything about the future now.

I think we understand fully where we are each coming from.

Well, at least "closest-standing" is suggesting the event is related to something. Ellipsis is a perfectly sound process when it eludes the appropriate elements out of the explicitly uttered expression.
Each time someone tries to explain in a scientific way what they think is consciousness, you see this analysis phase, breaking it down in steps to the bare minimum. From a scientific point of view, this makes perfect sense.

This leads to two pounts of view - scientific, leading to reduction and more philosophic - there's no way to describe it since it is _super-natural_.

I lean to the more scientific approach, we are not more and not less than the sum of our parts and, each of our parts, at any sub-scale, has some resemblance to a thermostat: some object that reacts on its environment.
we see the same thing, also with a financial company, the most successful strategies we’ve seen is making stuff like this extremely expensive for whoever it is if we see it, and they stop or slow down to a point it becomes not worth it and they move on. sometimes that’s really all you can do without harming legit traffic.
That's a very CA viewpoint. I moved from CA to NC and as long as the onboard computer isn't throwing a code and your emissions stuff (appears to be) in place they don't care. I have two vehicles that are tuned and they pass emissions no problem. They can see this (different means per manufacturer, I think BMW throws an invalid checksum and Ford does it by key trigger count or something) but since the vehicles are still blowing clean it's fine.

We just had a few counties discontinue emissions checks and now only do safety checks up to 30 years past which they don't inspect at all.

If this is so, could you explain why the dialog for a Google Play Services webauthn login today says "use passkey" (meaning "use google-account-hosted passkey") and "try another way" (meaning "present an options page to let me choose, after another click, a passkey that doesn't happen to be a google one")? How about the bit in the article where the Apple signin screen says "unlock with TouchID" and you have to decline to do that TWICE before you can use a hardware key?

Yes, it's technically possible to use hardware keys today. No, it's not ideal - specifically, what's broken is:

* the user experience where all three major platforms attempt to make it more difficult to use anything other than their platform.

* the ability to sync cloud-hosted passkeys between the major vendors AND self-hosted options

* the ability to decline to use the OS vendor platform once, instead of needing to decline it on EVERY SINGLE SITE, EVERY SINGLE TIME

This is, unfortunately, not true. FIDO2 credentials have support for an "AAGUID" and a signed attestation certificate that does, in fact, allow blocking particular implementations.
I switched from Android to iOS because Google forced updates to my phone somehow, even though I had internet access disabled. I only used it as a phone: no email, web browsing, etc. My phone (Blu R2) was a few years old, and after the update, all kinds of stuff was broken. For example, zooming a picture would cause the messaging app to crash. So once that update was installed, I had to enable updates continuously to try to get back to a working phone. But instead, things just kept getting worse. I gave up and bought an iPhone XR on eBay for half retail price.

Most HN folks think diversity is a good thing, and I'm not saying it isn't, but it does have its disadvantages. In my case, I could probably buy new Android phones at least 3x more often than iPhones based on cost, but a lot of people (me) don't want to be fiddling with new phones every year or 2. It was apparent to me that Android updates are not tested thoroughly on older phones. I understand that would be hard because there is a huge variety of hardware, but it's a significant downside of Android IMO.

There are two paths to KG generation today and both are problematic in their own ways.
1. Natural Language Processing (NLP)
2. LLM

NLP is fast but requires a model that is trained on an ontology that works with your data. Once you do, it’s a matter of simply feeling the model your bazillion CSVs and PDFs.

LLMs are slow but way easier to start as ontologies can be generated on the fly. This is a double edged sword however as LLMs have a tendency to lose fidelity and consistency on edge naming.

I work in NLP, which is the most used in practice as it’s far more consistent and explainable in very large corpora. But the difficulty in starting a fresh ontology dead ends many projects.
Moreover, there are almost zero examples of Eon films where the Eon ideas were good.

The films are pretty straight-ahead adaptations of Fleming novels through _Live and Let Die_. After that, they were out of books they had rights to, and the films take a serious plunge in terms of actual quality. For my money, the only genuinely watchable non-adaptation example after LALD is _Goldeneye_.

I mean, note the huge jump in quality when Craig came on when they finally DID have a Fleming novel they could work from again, right?

> Sven Magnus Øen Carlsen[a] (born 30 November 1990) is a Norwegian chess grandmaster. Carlsen is a five-time World Chess Champion, five-time World Rapid Chess Champion, the reigning seven-time World Blitz Chess Champion and the reigning Chess World Cup Champion. He has held the No. 1 position in the FIDE world chess rankings since 1 July 2011 and trails only Garry Kasparov in time spent as the highest-rated player in the world.[1] His peak rating of 2882 is the highest in history. He also holds the record for the longest unbeaten streak at an elite level in classical chess at 125 games.[2][3]

Magnus is a giant and a celebrity in the chess world. It would be like hosting the G7 but disinviting the US from the meetings because Trump wore a sweater.
True, but if you're going for frontend ML, which is effectively a black box anyway, you might as well have some non-human-understandable bits in the optics and hardware too.

Various designs for microlens arrays do similar things - thousands of of 0.001 megapixel images from slightly different angles are fairly useless for most human uses, but to AI it could be a very powerful way to get depth info, cut the camera thickness by 10x, and have infinite depth of focus.

Human Civilization at critical junction:authoritarian collapse or superabundance
Can you explain what you’re talking about some more? Other than mentioning that Brocolli is fine with a gay non-white male (but has to be a male), where in article did you glean anything about DEI?

Agreed. This sort of handwavy genuflect to some idealized One True Rust Way instead of addressing (seemingly) valid complaints in a direct manor is perhaps the biggest thing pushing me away from interest in rust.
Agreed, it started out alright but got worse and worse as it diverged from the books. The finale of S2 is truly laughable. If you switch your expectations to fantasy/comedy you mighhhhht be able to enjoy it?
I think a critical feature is missing that makes this almost entirely unworkable: usable handling of backup tokens. There is no way to register a token in a safe. There is no way to name a token to keep track of which one it is. There is no intelligent way to migrate from one token to a new one. Working with two computers with mutually incompatible ports is incredibly annoying.

NFC tokens have basically no security against a close range attacker. How much this matters depends on the threat model.

Also: the cloud vendor passkeys (Apple, Google, etc) are far more secure against an attacker that steals a device.

This is not to say that cloud based passkeys are amazing. AFAICT there is nothing remotely resembling an automated way to rotate a key. I’m not even convinced it can be done manually in a straightforward manner. This is not so great, given that a passkey is effectively an unlimited lifetime key pair with no revocation mechanism, that may well be stored without hardware security and that can be propagated to different generations of devices. Also, what happens if a device is stolen and compromised at least enough to keep its password manager running?
